RIO Iowa Project

The Rebuild Iowa Office closed on June 23, 2011. The office was established to coordinate the state-wide recovery effort after the historic floods, tornadoes and severe weather of 2008.

In the wake of Rebuild Iowa Office's closing, RIO Iowa is a project that aims to represent past, present, and future planning ideals that are central to the State of Iowa. Our objective is to contribute to the practice of planning by making tools and other resources available that will effectively enhance planning efforts at the regional and local levels.

Rebuild Iowa Office closed permanently on June 23, 2011. Rebuild Iowa Office content, shown at the green tabs on this page, has not been updated since that time. Other information, relevant to Iowa planning, will be posted and updated at the orange tabs as a public service by the University of Iowa's School of Urban and Regional Planning. Please contact URBAN-RIO@uiowa.edu with any technical issues you may have with the site.
